Until the SLAM is over, don't worry about the whole test. If FC happens to be below 10, grab a quick pH test otherwise don't worry about it

Technically you are finished SLAMing then. If there was a quarter in the deepest part of the pool, could you tell if it was heads or tails?
Probably not....its still a little cloudy (water wise) and it's over cast out so it's not as clear as it like

Yeah I'm happy with the results...it only took me 26 gallons of chlorine

CC at zero is not the only criteria for being done with a SLAM. The water is not clear, and he has not passed an OCLT. Do not stop SLAMing until you have passed all three criteria.
You are done when:
CC is 0.5 or lower;
You pass an OCLT (ie overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less);
And the water is clear.
With the color of your water, and not being able to easily see your bottom drain, you are not done yet. When it is REALLY clear you can see that quarter.
Bottom line...keep it up. You may not be done but you aren't far away.
Check out my SLAM thread in my signature. It is a really long one so you may want to skim through it. On the last page is a collage from Black Nasty to Crystal Clear.

Before the user posted the photo they said the water was "clear" in addition to passing the OCLT and 0CC. I agree it wasn't, I was only going by what they reported.
